Default I went to the Dark Side

We traded yesterday. 16 Z06. Car is a BEAST. I assume that maybe 90% of you don't really care and the other 10% are probably glad to see me go. But I do thank all of the C6 folks on this forum for posting information. A lot useful and some not so but I did learn and was always entertained. Special thanks to a few who helped me solve a couple of issues I had. And know that even though I'm in a C7 now if we meet on the road I will give you the "Corvette wave". Now I need to figure out how to change my forum handle.

Congrats. I actually might not be too far behind. I've been keeping an eye out for the right C7 but am trying to wait on the C8 just in case.

Hell no. Because I've read several posts and it's pretty well known on here that a lot of C7 owners don't wave. You can stay in the 90% for all I care.

Oh I didn't know that accusing me of thinking I'm better than you or for that matter anyone on here was being friendly. Really couldn't care less which option you feel the need to be in dude.

When you said you went "To the Dark Side" .... I was thinking that you just traded for a Rustang !

Anyway, that black C7 Z06 is a really nice looking car, and fast fast fast !

Enjoy

No I would have just disappeared from forum if I would have done that. Just my attempt at a little humor. To a lot on here the C7 is the "Dark Side". I like all gen Corvettes but you won't see me in a mustang.

Well I didn't think of that option but I guess I'd classify that with the don't cares. But what a coincidence because I've never heard of you either.

The C7 is not for me and never will be. I understand trading in for a car with 220 more HP. I don’t get the people that trade in a GS on a plain old Stingray with 30 more HP. Good luck with your Z...

It's a forum, we contribute when we feel like it.

Also, who did the math on the 90/10 split? I'm not sure that's accurate.
